Egremont Cemetry

[tammyward]

Hello Tammy,

I have no definite answer to that question but presume they used the burial grounds around the Churches at that time.  I have never heard of any other burial ground in the Egremont area.  Apart from Church grounds, the next largest Cemetery would have been in Whitehavem.   Sorry could'nt be more helpful.

Are you looking for someone in particular that we could help with. ?

I'm looking for William Charles Warwick and his Wife Sarah Elizabeth Harding. I have William born in Egremont in 1784 and Sarah born in Carlisle in 1790 and a Marriage between the two of them in Egremont in 1810. I have both of their deaths happening in 1850. I have no idea where they died because I don't have a place of birth.

I am very unsure of how accurate this is as I got the information of someone else and it has William and Sarah's Son John born 1802 in Staffordshire and their Daughter Sarah Jane born in Egremont in 1813. It all seems pretty mixed up to me. I'm basically trying to find proof that the two were in fact married and had a son named John who was sent to Australia as a Convict. I'm also trying to find proof that William was born in Egremont.

I don't live in England so I have no idea how far Egremont is from Staffordshire. It also makes it harder knowing where or how to find information.

Kind Regards,

Tammy

Hello Tammy,

I see your problem - many anc.try trees with no sources and bare information. You are talking of a distance of 275 kilometres or 171 miles.

The nearest records office where Parish records for Egremont would be kept is the Whitehaven Records Office

Thanks for that. I didn't have Reginald the youngest son. I hadn't got round to checking them out in 1911!! It all certanily fits as my John & Sarah Jane Ellwood family.

John the father was definately a teacher.

Hi Gillian, was looking for the ancient Reginald and came across this -- where does this family fit it?

Hi Steve,

I have two Ellwood branches in my family:

1) The Dufton Ellwoods - our common ancestors

2) Ellwoods originating from Caldbeck Cumberlend.

I have found no link between these two families. The Reginald in this thread is from the Caldbeck Ellwoods.

Regards,

Gillian
